Out of the Overflow of the Heart

"It says in the Bible that when we see God face to face we will have to give account for every careless word that we have spoken. What a frightening thought. But I believe that we also have to pay for our careless words here and now. There is in the tongue the power of life and death. What you say can either bring life to you and your situation, or it can bring death."

"Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones" - Proverbs 16:24 NIV
"The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life" - Proverbs 10:11 NIV
"A deceitful tongue crushes the spirit" - Proverbs 15:4 NIV

"To live truly in peace, you must watch what comes out of your mouth. The only way to control that is to go to the source of all expression, that is, to the heart,

"For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him" - Matthew 12:34-35 NIV."
